Breeders and pug owners all know about their delicate health that requires an excelent and alert management. This is particulary evident after 9 years old. We intend to talk about all illness we treated our pugs since 1994 (the kennel was registred only in 1995), about all we learned with such a numerous group of pugs, about how we have been treating them, and about what we should have avoided in their youth. All illness we will relate are not exclusive of our kennel, which bloodline comes from the combination of others. These are common problems of the breed, as related by the medical literature. At the moment, 50% of our crew of 20 pugs are older than 9. In these 17 years, many of our pugs have crossed the rainbow bridge, some old, others still young, and we miss all them so much, with their unique and fascinant character. We will thank you all if your experience can be also shared with all us in the comments of this blog.
